Perspective
The university is the result of a merger of two major military academies, the Naval Aviation Academy (海军航空兵学院) and the Naval Aviation Engineering Academy (海军航空工程学院). The institutional lineage is roughly as follows:
Naval Aviation Academy
- The Second Naval Aviation School: In 1950, the Naval Business School of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was established. On 19 September 1950, the Naval Business School and the Third Corps of the Second Field Army Military and Political University merged to form the "Second Naval Aviation School of the Chinese People's Liberation Army", located in Qingdao, Shandong[3]
- The First Naval Aviation School: On 1 August 1950, the Central Military Commission and the Navy Party Committee established the "First Naval Aviation School" at a small airport left by the Japanese in Cangkou, Qingdao. On 1 November 1950, with the help of 74 Soviet experts headed by Soviet adviser Yainov and more than 20 graduates recruited from Peking University, Tsinghua University and other universities, the aviation school officially opened. The first president was Zhao Huichuan and the first political commissar was Gui Shaobin. The school's personnel was assembled from the Second Branch of the General Logistics Department of the Fourth Field Army, the Second Corps of the North China Military and Political University, the Air Force Command of the East China Military Region, the Hebei Military Region, and the Navy Command.[4]

Naval Aviation University
In 2017, in the process of deepening national defense and military reform, all military academies in China were reformed, and the Naval Aviation College and the Naval Aviation Engineering College were merged and reorganized to form the Naval Aviation University of the People's Liberation Army. The headquarters is located in Yantai, Shandong Province, with a satellite campus and training base in Qingdao, and flight training bases in Huludao, Changzhi, Qinhuangdao, and Jiyuan.[17][18][19][2][20]
